Shee won't idle...hesitation low RPM

[vtecjun]

Here is a list of all the mods that I did. Keep in mind that befoer these the bike was stock and all of these were done at one time.

 

Toomey T5's, tried 270 and 280 main jets, K&N twin filters, mille head .020, and advance timing plate currently at 4 degrees.

 

I am leaving to Sand Lake Oregon friday night and I really have no time to tune the bike after work since my neighbors dont like me already. So I wil have to do all of my tuning at the dunes this weekend. I guess I am just looking for some adive here in case I need to make it to the parts store before I go. From reading all the posts about the jetting it sounds like maybe I need to up my pilot jet size? As far as I know it is stock right now. The bike runs really good in the higher RPMs but will not idle at all. I have adjusted the screws that are on the side of each carb with no effect on idle. When I pull the plugs out they are wet....whether the bike was idling or I make a rip down the street. The other thing that I noticed is that if I hold the throttle open the pipe on the right side does not blow te exhaust out consistently. The left one is constant but the right seems to come and go even when the throttle is held at the same RPM the whole time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Forgot to say I also installed Boysen Pro series Reeds!

pull the choke and see if it gets better or worse. you didn't list what pilots your running. also, read the "troubleshooting your jetting" thread stickied at the top.

i use to have the same setup. you're gonna want a 310 or 320 main jet. i have no idea what toomey has in mind with their "perfect jet kit"

I am running the stock pilot jets. I just bought 30,35,40,45 so I have enough to tune with this weekend. Another thing that i noticed was that on the sides of the carbs there are screws that have a lock nut on them. From the looks of these they seem to hold the slodes in the carbs open more when tightened in. My screws are all the way in and they dont seem to be holding the slides open very far. Just more food for thought. Thanks for all the advice.
